It clears the FPGA program, and reboots the FPGA from Flash RAM, if a bitfile is present at file number 1 in the Flash file system. It does not affect the operation of the microcontroller which provides the USB connectivity thus it should not be necessary to unplug/eject the USB device from the Windows operating system before using the reset button.

    RC10_TARGET_CLOCK_RATE Description If this macro is defined (to be equal to a clock frequency in Hertz) before the rc10.hch header file is included, then a subsequent "void main (void)" definition will use a clock of approximately the desired frequency. The actual frequency used will be returned in the macro RC10_ACTUAL_CLOCK_RATE.

  • Page 30: Rc10 Psl: Leds

    The range of target frequencies is from 2MHz to 300MHz, but please note that the achievable frequency is design dependent and will typically be much lower than this upper bound. The macro RC10_ACTUAL_CLOCK_RATE will be defined following the #inclusion of the rc10.hch header file. This will be equal to the achieved clock rate, in Hz.
